Swedish DJ Avicii laid to rest in Stockholm seven weeks after taking his own life in Oman

Swedish DJ and music producer Avicii has been laid to rest in a private ceremony in his hometown of Stockholm, the Daily Mail reports.

Avicii, whose real name was Tim Bergling, was found dead in the city of Muscat, Oman, on April 20. 

Following his death, his family penned an open letter saying the 28-year-old “could not go on any longer and wanted peace”.

His brother-in-law Joakim Sterner also posted a picture from Skogskyrkogarden yesterday, showing himself posing solemnly in front of a cross.

Last month Avicii's Swedish publicist Ebba Lindqvist announced that the funeral would be held “in the presence of the people who were closest to Tim,” without providing any more details.

No cause of death has been released, but in a statement last month Bergling's family appeared to suggest he took his own life, saying that he struggled with his thoughts and “could not go on any longer”.
